    Ep 34. Stop Asking Permission to Follow Your Dreams

    If you've ever asked yourself:   Do I deserve to have dreams so big? Am I good enough?Am I allowed to fight for the life I want to live? This episode is for you. So often we get stuck in a habit of asking permission to pursue our dreams. Of shrinking in the face of others' opinions. What if, instead, we expanded into our full creative humanity, and by extension made space for others to do the same? This solo episode with Mela includes discussion + guided reflection questions and weekly practices to break a habit of deference and step more fully into the process of building your creative vision.  -Interested in starting your own podcast?
